Spencer Fane attorney Robert Curry

Overview

Bob Curry helps public and private companies navigate mergers and acquisitions, securities matters, and complex business transactions so they can pursue strategic opportunities and achieve their growth and profitability objectives.

For more than 40 years, Bob has advised clients on a broad range of corporate and transactional matters, including stock and asset acquisitions, dispositions, and other strategic business combinations. He represents companies across a variety of industries and works closely with management teams and stakeholders to structure transactions, manage risk, and address the legal and business issues associated with significant corporate initiatives.

Bob also brings extensive experience in securities and finance matters that helps him provide comprehensive services. He has represented clients in initial public offerings, follow-on public offerings, private placements, venture capital financings, commercial bank financing, and other capital-raising transactions. This experience advising both public and private companies enables him to provide practical guidance on securities regulation, corporate governance, and financing strategies.

An important aspect of Bob’s practice involves international transactions. He has a substantial track record of advising clients on foreign acquisitions and mergers, as well as international engineering and construction projects. His cross-border experience helps clients navigate the legal and business complexities associated with global operations and expansion efforts.

In addition to his private practice experience, Bob served as outside chief counsel to a publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. That role provides valuable insight into the operational, governance, and strategic considerations facing public companies and informs his practical approach to client service.
